IFLI welcomes applicants with no language proficiency in Indonesian, as well as those who are intermediate or advanced speakers.

IFLI students participate in a full-time domestic summer program at the University of Wisconsin. The program is funded through the Boren Scholarships.

IFLI students then participate a full-time overseas program, administered by American Councils for International Education. This takes place at the State University of Malang (UM), Indonesia.

Applicants should note that the summer and fall programs are full-time language and culture programs. Applicants are encouraged to request funding to stay in Indonesia after the fall program is complete. During that time, students participate in study abroad programs that they identify on their own and note in the Boren application. These programs must include language study, but may also include additional coursework, academic internships and/or research.

Enter 12/5/19 as the overseas end date, if you are not going to extend into the spring. Use the appropriate overseas end date for your full program, if you are going to extend into the spring.

Choose Indonesian for your language.

Select “yes” for “Are you applying for the Indonesian Flagship Language Initiative.”

Choose “yes” for the following question, indicating that you will participate in the summer program.

If you are planning to extend into the spring, on a program you are selecting yourself, complete the “study abroad program II” section.

DO NOT complete the alternate study abroad program section.

DO NOT include any summer costs in your budget (the Boren Fellowships will fully fund the summer program as an additional supplement to the overseas funding.)

If your overseas program will be fall-only, enter $0 as all of your costs (the Boren Fellowships will fully fund the fall program).

If you are planning to extend past 12/5/2019, enter your overseas budget for 12/6/2019 through the end of your proposed dates. The maximum additional funding that Boren Fellows may receive for the optional extension is $12,000.
